I’ll be the first to accept ur apology..as a man who’s made a mistake or two in life I know how hard it is to look at your self in the mirror when you let so many ppl down but for anybody who can’t and won’t accept his apology u need to look in the mirror because were not perfect..forgiveness will destroy racism not more hatred..

– Former Washington Wizard Gilbert “Agent Zero” Arenas forgiving embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling in an Instagram post on Monday that he later deleted. The 80-year-old’s troubles actually began with the popular photo sharing site when an offensive tantrum sparked by his 31-year-old girlfriend’s Instagram feed went viral via TMZ on April 25th.
